A great read is only half the job. In today’s voice-over world, actors are also their own recording engineer, editor and quality control department. That means knowing how to turn a terrific performance into a clean, professional audition. This One Night Wonder lab focuses on a segment of the technical side of the audition process, the practical skills that happen after you hit record. Walk through the essential steps of preparing an audition file, including how much editing is actually necessary, what to do (and not do) with breaths, managing room tone and how to avoid over-editing to keep your audio sounding natural while still polished. Because when the client presses play, your performance should be the only thing they notice, not the editing.
